I'm going to paint a worst case scenario for you.
You show up to the meeting, yell out your "hate" speech, someone dials 911 and lets dispatch record what you say. Sounds of the six guys ejecting you are on tape, you telling them to get their hands off of you, scuffling sounds, chairs knocking over, people shouting, kids crying and screaming.
You're now alone outside, trying to get to your car, holding onto your back, because now it really hurts. The police cruiser, lights only, stops about ten spaces away, police get out, guns drawn and pointed at you. You're ordered to get face down on the pavement, wet or dry, hot or cold.
Oh, and look. You test postive for drugs. Doesn't matter that they're legal; you were "drugged up."
You spend the next several weeks - months in jail, because you can't make bail. Meanwhile, the 911 and other phone recordings of the incident, edited for effect, hit youtube and inevitably, the local news, where all the mormon future jurors can watch them again and again.
Stories hit face book about how "somebody heard" about the gas can and other dangerous items (like a box of nails) that was found in your shed, and that you were planning on blowing the church up. Your internet activity is leaked, "proving" how much you hate the church.
Now the feds want to investigate you as a person whom they can claim was "averted" from committing a "religious hate crime."
At that point, would you think it was worth it to tell a group of local folk that their religion is a fraud?
One of the worst parts is that you have now "proven" how mormons are persecuted, especially by evil apostates, part of the evil world you have joined, just to take drugs and otherwise "sin."
You are a treasured member of this board. It is your choice, but things rarely go like we play them out in our heads.
